gardeners gardens

Ah, so wrong, so wrong! I for one care very deeply, as it means I
have less cat poo to contend with in my own garden. Fortunately,
I have many adjoining neighbours, so each of my own four cats has
ample choice in answering that difficult question "where shall I
poo today?" Thank God for neighbours, esp. those with freshly
dug-over veg plots.

The cat litter that my cats used is the wood pellet type that soaks up
any
mess. Once it has been used in the litter tray would it be ok to dig in
my
flower beds (not veg patch). Has anybody got any info to suggest not to
do
this?

you can catch toxoplasmosis (sp) from cat poo which is very bad if you
are
pregnant (but most gardeners and meat eaters are immune anyway). Also the
smell may encourage your cats (or other cats) to use your garden

Excuse me but that contradicts everything that has been said on this and
other newsgroups by cat owners.

"Get a cat of your own and the others won't come into your garden"

That is most certainly not true, we have a cat and most of the cats
from around come into our garden.

You are now saying that it will encourage others!!

I don't think having a cat encourages others, cats will go wherever they
like.

They are 'wild' animals.
